How much bandwidth should the user have for smooth experience?
P.S I am from India and its difficult to find more than 2 Mbps internet bandwidth with ease here.
- sidcool 12y agoThis is a really important question. I am from India and good bandwidth is a luxury here.

- codezero 12y agoTheir website states 20MB down with 60ms latency. This seems like a high value in general.
- techaddict009 12y agoSeems like they will have very less amount of users from developing countries like India then. Sad even I will not be able to use it.
- dagw 12y agoNot just a problem with developing countries. I have 100 Mb at home so that's not a problem, but the main use case I see for this for me is to able to use it while traveling. Even in countries with a great high speed internet in general, getting great high speed internet in a hotel room or conference center is almost impossible.
- majordroid 12y ago20MB down is too much to ask for even here in the States.
- MichaelGG 12y agoHopefully it'll scale down gracefully when not doing graphics-intensive work. RDP is quite usable even with 100ms latency and only a few Mbps. OTOH I guess nothing's stopping you from renting a machine from Amazon now. I'd just be worried if they use H.264 that there's not lossless compression on most UI elements. RDP falls back to lossy video-compression like behaviour under pressure, and it looks terrible and quite unusable. For Photoshop and graphics apps, sure. But for text and most UI elements, ouch.
- kmfrk 12y agoCopy says >15Mb at the moment. Funky way to denote minimum - reminds me of the "Recommended" specs on a videogame. That rules out me, but it's a nice reminder of how much of an obstacle to innovation lack of broadband can be.
